How kigoobe started their web page design journey

Summary

Please do not submit any new template. I have already forwarded the following 6 templates to the client and waiting for his feedback. Thanks.

Also, I have increased the contest duration to maximum, since I will have to wait for client's feedback, there will probably be some modifications, and then we will have to make the product display page.

However, please again note that I am not accepting any more new entries. Submission of new entries is closed now, and we will work with the following six templates. Thanks.

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

This is a website for a new business that will present their services and products through their website. Services are - Serigraphy, Embroidery, and custimized printing on office materials (pen, diary, mousepad, etc.)

Using their services, serigraphy and embroidery, they produce tshirts, caps, etc. to sell them to shops. They want to make a show case of those products. So, that's it.

Need a homepage to begin with that will be visually pleasing, will include the color #009DDC, and give an overview of services and products in the home page. The product images of the home page will be managed by php and mysql, and hence will change frequently.

The color should be blue (#009DDC), bluish-white and white. Don't be afraid to be creative here. Need a clean and professional, yet eye catching designÂ that will show your design talent. Horizontal menu.

There will be basically three faces of the site.
- Home page
- Interior pages, structure of which will be same for all, will mainly consist of the header and footer of the home page + if you have any other idea, like a water mark kind of thing as the body background.
- This is what I forgot to mention earlier. One part of the site, 'Nos produits' from the menu, will be like an ecommerce site. Will contain the same header and footerÂ as inÂ the rest of the pages, but the body here will have a way to showcase the different products, a bit like any ecommerce site.
- The mentioned price of $350 is including all of the above.You can make just theÂ home page to begin with, and if everything is OK with the home page, you can make the two other sections.Â

For information, some of the horizontal menus will contain drop down CSS menus, though it shouldn't make a difference in your design.

The horizontal menus that will be visible are -
- Accueil
- Ã€ propos
- Nos produits
- Savoir-faire
- Portfolios
- Nos clients
- ContactI don't have any photos for the home page for the moment, but feel free to take the same from open sourceÂ projects like sxc.huÂ

I will probably code that with a fluid design (where webpage width changes with user's browser width), so please keep that in mind while doing the design. Minimimum width will be 760px.

As told earlier, this website will go for a client who do bulk silk screen printing and embroidery in t-shirts, and also delivers customized office products (like diary or pen with nameÂ and logo printed there). I am emphasizing this, as I think you can make a more relevant design if you know for whom you are doing this.

The contest is open for 8 days from today, though I would love to finish it earlier, if I get something good before that.

Imp.

I am really looking forward for some nice design here, that will stand out from the crowd. :)

Also, just to avoid any misunderstanding, I want an eye catchy design, should be clean but it should not be 'plain'. In case you have any doubt, please contact me before to start working. Also, I have added western union as a mode of payment following a request, though I will prefer paypal, as it's simpler for me.

AÂ short from the previous entries, I am looking for something that will speak about the content of the site visually while being graphically eye catching.

OK, so I am again trying to explain what I need. Going through the content of the site, we are having 4 different sections here. Serigraphy, embroidery, service of customized printed office products and selling of printed (using serigraphy and embroidery) stuffs like tshirts, caps, etc.

So, we may first divide the home page in two parts, a left part taking 70% of the space and a right part with the rest, 29.8%, say.In the left part, we can have an image at the top, someone doing serigraphy, if you can find a nice eye catching picture. Somewhere around we can have a brief description about the website.

Somewhere in the same left panel (70% space) we can have three blocks, each for serigraphy, embroidery and service of customized printing (on diary, pen, mousepad, etc.). Each with a small related image, a couple of lines of text or so, and probably a link to go deeper).

The right panel (29.8%) we can keep that for the section of selling of printed tshirts, caps, etc. At the top, we can have a few images of different products like caps, tshirt, etc. may be with some text and a link, this taking more than half of it's height, and then another block which will take users deeper.Â

I am not a designer, but trying to explain this like this as seeing the first few entries I got a bit disappointed realizing that I couldn't convey my needs to designers who are submitting their art works. Of course, feel free to change the positions and %ages etc. that I mentioned till now, if you find a better idea so that the home page gives an extract of the whole site, as properly as possible. I will appreciate if you can give me something in a better way than what I just told above.
